In August 2025 Norwegian Customs (Tolletaten) opened a larger consignment from the United States at the air-freight section at Oslo Airport Gardermoen and found about 200 kilograms of marijuana in eight packages.[1][2][3] The recipient was registered as a firm in Oslo and the goods were declared as kitchen utensils; Customs said the marijuana itself was not otherwise concealed inside the boxes.[1][2][3]

Customs contacted the police and replaced the drugs with legal goods for a controlled delivery.[1][2] The consignment was taken to the listed address and then moved to another address, where police intervened and arrested several people.[1][2] Those people were charged, and the case was still under investigation when Customs published the haul on 23 January 2026.[1][2]

Customs called the find among the largest marijuana seizures ever made in Norway’s postal stream.[1][2] Section head Hans Wilhelmsen said smugglers were becoming more risk-willing and using post more often, and that Customs had seized about 1.5 tonnes of marijuana in Norway in 2025, more than double the year before.[1][2][3]
